3D Epoxy Flooring is a decorative and durable flooring solution that creates a three-dimensional visual effect on floors using high-resolution images sealed with multiple layers of clear epoxy resin. It's widely used in homes, showrooms, malls, hotels, offices, and even garages to create a striking, long-lasting floor.
🔹 What is 3D Epoxy Flooring?
3D epoxy flooring combines a base layer (usually self-leveling epoxy), a 3D image or design, and a transparent top coat of epoxy or polyurethane resin. The image is often printed on a special material like vinyl, then covered in resin to create a glossy, glass-like effect.
🔹 Key Features
Feature Description
Visual Appeal Offers a highly realistic, immersive 3D effect (e.g., ocean, waterfalls, marble, space scenes).
Durability Highly resistant to wear, impact, chemicals, and moisture.
Seamless No joints or seams, reducing areas for dirt and bacteria to accumulate.
Customizable Designs can be fully customized — photos, logos, or custom art.
Easy Maintenance Smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean.
Long Lifespan Typically lasts 10–20 years with proper care.
🔹 Layers of 3D Epoxy Flooring
Base Layer (Primer): Prepares the floor and ensures adhesion.
Self-Leveling Epoxy Layer: Smooths the floor and creates a base.
3D Image Layer: Printed image applied carefully on the epoxy.
Transparent Epoxy or Polyurethane Topcoat: Seals the image and provides depth and gloss.
